Context and how to use this

Subtract direct channel costs from attributable gross revenue for a simple contribution view. Attribution is never perfect—document counting rules.

Add indirect costs if your finance team allocates marketing overhead.

Common questions

Why ROI as percent of cost?
It is a common shorthand: net contribution divided by spend. It can explode when spend is tiny—interpret carefully.
Lag between spend and revenue?
Align periods if you can; otherwise note the mismatch when presenting to partners.
